Tried postscript 2 and 1 without the -oraw  and the printer didn't move.
Do I need anything in the PPD file box?

One thing I noticed -- when I print on the other computer with a canon 
printer, it takes a few seconds for the blue activity line to get across; 
indicating that is is finishing its processing and sending it to the printer.  
With this setup, the blue activity line goes across very fast like it's not 
doing much processing.  Maybe the difference is usb being faster than 
parallel.
